Machine-readable licences now attached to ninety per cent of new deposits
Authors
Abstract
Repository operators report that automated licence tagging has cut downstream reuse disputes sharply, though retrospective coverage of older material remains patchy. The analysis draws on a corpus assembled from institutional repositories, preprint servers and publisher metadata feeds, and the full dataset together with the code needed to reproduce every figure is deposited under a permissive licence. Limitations, including coverage gaps in non-English sources, are set out in the discussion.
